Lovin' Spoons Self Serve Froyo

@lovinspoons is a brand new Frozen Yogurt concept shop in Savannah and Pooler. The second you walk in you are greeted with the self serve wall of frozen yogurt machines. It is a grab your cup and go to town concept. They do have kids cups available upon request, as well as tasting sample cups. The cost of your dessert depends on how heavy your cup is after you make your way through the yogurt machines and the bevy of toppings to choose from. Everything is there...from sprinkles and fresh fruit to your favorite cereals and candies.

Once you get through the toppings you then head over to the sauces. Here there are hot fudge, chocolate, fruit syrups, caramel, and many others.

I went with a half cookies & cream flavored froyo and the other half a red velvet cake flavored froyo. The Georgia Peach was my favorite from those I sampled, but I couldn't think of what toppings would go best with it. I put some oreo's, chocolate chips, sprinkles, waffle cone crumbles, a drizzle of hot fudge and a drizzle of marshmellow creme. A little whipped cream on top finished this treat off.

This is a great place to take the kids (the even have half of an old VW Bug inside for kids to play in) and the options are limitless. We look forward to going back, trying different flavors, different combinations, and letting our creative froyo minds run wild.

Caramelized Vidalia Onions

Not many things mark spring like Vidalia Onions. I love to caramelize them and have them as a side or garnish to whatever I am eating. Very simply these are cooked in a little bit of olive oil, cracked black pepper, and a little garlic. These things are so sweet to begin with, but the onions take on a whole new level of sweetness when prepared like this. It is almost like eating Vidalia Onion Candy! Tonight I ate them with grilled pork chops and lima beans. Last night it was Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Rice, and Fresh Fruit.

If they don't sell Vidalia Onions where you are located, you can always buy them online at from the good people at M&T Farms in Vidalia, GA: http://www.vidaliaonionfestival.com/mat-farms-order-page
